Buying a Christmas gift will do for most of your loved ones but some family members might prefer a more personal gift. Arts and crafts may not be your forte but there’s still plenty you can do for the holiday season. Here are some interesting DIY Christmas gifts recommended by us here at Blackburn Nissan. Have a very merry Christmas, everyone!

Knit Blanket – If you have a knack for knitting, use your talent to create an oversized blanket. The technique is rather simple to learn so even those with limited or no knowledge of the craft can create a wonderful Christmas gift that will keep your loved ones warm and cozy for years to come. Such a large project actually takes very little time, just a few hours, compared to many other DIY gifts.

Festive Pillow – Arguably the simplest gift to make on the list, a festive pillow is perfect for adorning your loved one’s home. Take a plain red, green, or white pillow and simply wrap it like a present, bow and all. Forego the wrapping paper and add a festive sprig or ornament to really set the holiday tone.

Bookmarks – If there’s one thing bookworms love more than books, its bookmarks. Create your own by cutting ribbon into nine-inch lengths, add ribbon clamps to both ends with jewelry pliers, and finish by adding charms, trinkets, or other items with jump earing clamps.

The Nissan Rogue is a vehicle designed to take on the toughest terrain and tightest corners with ease which makes it perfect for a “Star Wars” commercial. The Japanese automaker launched its latest “Star Wars”- themed campaign for the 2017 Rogue not long ago. There’s a special edition Rogue to go along with the highly-anticipated film.

The 2017 Nissan Rogue stars in the “Battle Tested” advertising campaign that launched at the end of October. The 30-second and 60-second ads depict the Rogue tearing through harsh terrain as an epic battle between Stormtroopers and rebels go head-to-head in a winner-takes-all matchup. The Nissan Rogue “Star Wars” commercial is bound to excite movie fans and auto enthusiasts alike.

The 30-second spot is slated to air on television while the 60-second ad is currently available for your viewing pleasure on Nissan’s YouTube channel.

Nissan also launched the Ultimate Access Sweepstakes with the ads. Fans can register for a chance to win a free pass to attend the release of “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” in Hollywood.

As for the special edition Nissan Rogue: Rogue One Star Wars Limited Edition model, drivers can expect to see special badging designed by Lucasfilm as well as a full-size replica Death Trooper helmet. The model will be on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

We here at Blackburn Nissan are pumped to see the Rogue representing the Nissan brand in such a creative commercial for a legendary franchise!
